This article demonstrates how to code a bubble sort that sorts a list of strings in a case insensitive manner using Go.

This tutorial demonstrates in detail how to adapt a bubble sort implementation written in Go to sort a list of numbers in reverse (non-increasing) order, rather than the default non-decreasing order. It is a useful trick to learn as it will help you custom sort other data types in the future.

This tutorial explains how to connect to a Postgres DB using the database/sql and lib/pq packages. It also covers potential errors and solutions.

When I first started writing Go code I was working on a relatively simple web application backed by an SQL database, so the first thing I did was Google “golang sql” which lead me to to the database/sql package. While reading those docs I notice this line in particular. The sql package must be used in conjunction with a database driver. See https://golang.org/s/sqldrivers for a list of drivers.

This tutorial explains how to use the SELECT and WHERE statement to query data from a single SQL table.

Learn to code the bubble sort algorithm in Go by walking through a coding example and then working on several practice problems to reinforce the knowledge. If you have ever wanted to learn algorithms, this series is a great place to start.
